"Sorry, which one of us is the voice of reason in this?" I had to pause the video, and I cackled like a maniac for probably a full minute. No other line so perfectly sums up the trajectory of their content over the years.
You guys are absolutely incredible, every time I see a new simons peculiar portions pop up in my feed my week gets instantly better. Never stop being your amazing selfs and thank you for all you do. “I am dave! Yognaught and I have the balls”
“The iBex.” “Was it made by Apple?” Lewis that joke was phenomenal! LOL! 10:52 Simons face of “The fuck is he going on about now?” while also dying inside is just hilarious! Simon shouting at his crotch sent me but the part where Simon drops the, “That’s the Diggy Hole man, son.” sent me into TEARS!! LMAO! Simon and Lewis were just super crazy this episode and I’m here for it!! Hahahaha!
maybe absence truly does make the heart grow fonder, but I think this might be the best episode yet Just 10 minutes in and we've got - 90s tech podcast - goat 2.0 - robot that apparently says "I am an idiot" - "Dogo...mage it" at 10:00 - Apple made a goat
These guys were my childhood. I hope i get to build a gang of friends and do youtube together like you have done. even tho a few pieces fell apart its still legendary
I would like to establish one rule with these robotics engineers: If it can't move on its legs at least half as fast as an average person, no one gives a fuck. There's all these videos of them showing off their "super advanced state of the art robots" and they're all just slow, clumsy fucks that are impressing no one. Yes, I know getting legs done right is super difficult in robotics, but it's like showing off a rocket to space that can only go 10 feet in the air. I know it's not the easiest to get to space, but we need a bit more than that before I'm impressed, you know?
Simon: "There's lights that flash on it apparently" Lewis: "What's the point of THIS?" Simon: "So people can see it coming in the dark I guess?" lmao that was an underrated joke
The 2 year period before iPods was when portable CD players that could play mp3CDs were popular. At least in North America where minidisc never caught on. I used to love having 14 hour CDs. And no, portable cd players don't usually skip. 45 second anti-shock took care of that. EDIT: Smashing Pumpkins album with a different track order? It was probably Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness and was using the vinyl track order. And yes, that track order had 2 exclusive songs ("Tonight Reprise" and "Infinite Sadness").
I was at a rock festival a few years back and, while SP were playing, there was a beer vendor with two chicks dancing on him. The whole crowd was watching this dude grind on these topless chicks and not the band. To be fair I was too.
The cheaper ones could barely play while walking at a faster pace, and obviously he's talking about what was popular in his area, not some place across the ocean. Not trying to argue, it's just that the way you worded it makes it seem like you're correcting him :D
Hey I remember at least one tech show from the 90s! The only part I remember is when they tested out home remedies for removing fingerprints from CRT monitors. One co-host said ranch salad dressing worked surprisingly well in her testing while the other said he'd rather just have a salad with the smudged monitor.
Please.... PLEASE Make a "Wiz Kidz" podcast. Talk about 80-1999 technology. But act like it's indeed that time. So, nothing past 2000 exist. I want Genuine excitement over a no-skip walkman.
Ingestion of avocado (Persea americana) has been associated with development of myocardial necrosis in mammals and birds and with sterile mastitis in lactating mammals. Cattle, goats, horses, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, sheep, budgerigars, canaries, cockatiels, ostriches, chickens, turkeys, and fish are susceptible to these conditions after avocado ingestion. Caged birds seem more sensitive to the effects of avocado, whereas chickens and turkeys seem more resistant. Although a single case report exists of two dogs developing myocardial damage after avocado ingestion, dogs seem relatively resistant compared with other species.
